The Rosetta Deception
The year is 1946 and the world has just emerged from years of brutal warfare that resulted not only in the deaths of millions but the creation of weapons of mass destruction. The new found peace is precarious as nations are forced into or voluntarily take sides in the two major ideological camps of communism and capitalism. The Soviet Union and the United States, once allies during the war are now openly engaged in a war of words and threats.
But there is an even greater threat from within, as the United States has been infiltrated by Soviet spies and sympathizers who are not only actively exposing US secrets and strategies to the Soviet Union but influencing policy makers at the highest levels of US Government. Some spies have voluntarily come forward and have named names, but many remain hidden and a threat, the extent of which will not be realized until much later.
Into this melee is born an organization like no other – a master guild of magicians – who will use the dark arts to tease out of the shadows the Russian spies that linger there. Their amazing performance is told here for the first time after almost seventy years of obscurity, their magic so well-conceived that their veil of illusion continues to this day.

I won't repeat other reviews describing the plot, etc. I enjoyed this book as I was unfamiliar with the particular subject. Having read about "Ghost Rockets" in various UFO-related forums, RD provided an interesting alternative explanation to the phenomenon. I have already recommended this book to several friends as I think it is an interesting book and an interesting, reasonably well supported premise. I have two criticisms of the book: 1) While the conversational, tongue-in-cheek style was OK, it was not always clear where facts left off and hypothesis began, and 2) The ending was very abrupt. I was rather shocked when I turned the page and was presented with a list of references.
